Dad Purse

Only a dad would say that carrying a bag around that looks like a purse is not grounds to lose their man card.

Speaking with someone the other day who is not a parent she laughed when I said that. She realized that when you are a parent you are not afraid to look like a fool sometimes. I had forgotten my key card at work and needed to borrow hers to get into our parking lot. She was digging through her purse and I just said “Hand me the thing, it will not bother me.” Her response was that she didn’t want me to have to carry around her purse. I told her that I will not lose my man card by carrying around a purse because I carry a purse/bag with me everywhere I go now anyway.

I can say that even though I have a different diaper bag then Hot Mama, I am not afraid to carry hers around if I have to. There is something about being a dad that does not make us afraid to lose our man card to other men who do not understand.

I posed the question of, Were you afraid to carry around a diaper bag that looks like a purse?, on my twitter and facebook page and let me just say that I did not get the same type of response as me.
